I don't want to sound like I'm defending HIM, but she also needs a talking to. She has to have an understanding that she needs to see him for what he truly is.....a bully. If she won't see facts as facts then she will most likely continue to see him secretly. He will definitely give her a sob-story about how he's a changed man and that it'll never happen again, which is always BS.
The sad ugly truth may also end up with her taking his defense, even after all that has happened. The restraining order may only be applicable to your residence. If she decides that she is going to continue to see this POS, she may also decide to move out, so that she can do what she wants. It's not the best scenario, but I would be prepared for this contingency just in case.
Keep in mind that this is based on MY family past history, and I can't speak for ypu and your daughter. If you have a close family bond she may be more inclined to listen to logic, and do what is bst for her well-being.
I hope it works out best for all involved.
Definitely go after him for the damages!
